The Pelican Employment Network (PEN) can provide comprehensive assistance to Service Members and their families
seeking to improve current employment status. Employment Seekers will have their progress tracked by the Employment
Advocates and the PEN-CT (Command Team) to filter out any issues that are occurring or may arise when searching
or applying for positions. To provide the best assistance and ensure proper tracking, Employment Seekers are required
to enroll in the Pelican Employment Network (PEN).

How does PEN assist?

We provide Employment Advocates to act as the first point of contact for the Employment Seekers.

* Please contact the PEN-CT or your local Employment Advocate with any questions or concerns.

What’s Next?

The Employment Seeker will be contacted via email and/or phone from the PEN-CT. The Employment Seeker may also receive
emails and calls from Employment Advocates outside of the PEN organization that are assigned to other National Guard
Employment Networks.

The Employment Seeker will be assigned to an Employment Advocate in the area in which they reside. The Employment
Advocate will contact the Employment Seeker within 2-3 business days to discuss career goals and plans.

The Employment Advocate will continue to give assistance to the Employment Seeker throughout the employment process
until their needs have been adequately met.

The Pelican Employment Network is a network of entities within the Louisiana National Guard utilizing government
and non-government resources to provide comprehensive employment assistance to Service Members and their families.
